On July 22 we had a special event on a beautiful east side of Cozumel, just south of Punta Morena. This gorgeous area features a perfect little cove with a wading pool, blowholes, and other incredible rock and waterfull formations - yet blighted from plenty of litter and sea debris. Thanks to EcoAlerta, PASA, Volunteers from the Red Cross and the Trashy Little Group, this area is once again postcard ready to represent the pristine east coast of Cozumel. As sad as it is to still see litter by the road, and pollution poisening our oceans, it is easy to feel much joy and encouragement when the community comes together and helps alleviate these eyesores from our island. To view a video of the event made by our friend Veronica Withington Sanchez please visit her channel on youtube.

21 jumbo bags of trash and litter were removed from this area AND out of the mouths and away from the danger of fatal entaglments to our turtles and other wildlife. Other members in other locations this month added 13 additional bags to the counter for a total of 496 Bags in the Bag Counter so far this year. We're halfway to our 1000 bag goal.

We also want to give a shout out to a great opportunity to reduce your plastic waste here in Cozumel. In addition to the Serv- Fresco at the south end of 65 where you can get refillable soft drinks, you can also take your old bottles of cleaning products to Cozuclean and have them refilled and enjoy profound cost savings too! Find Cozuclean also on 65 near the corner of Adolfo Rasado Salas. Start saving lots of money and reduce your plastic footprint at the same time. REDUCING plastic waste in the first place is far superior to reusing or recycling. Give these options a try and watch your recycle bin start to disappear!

Find the Trashy Little Group on facebook and join our efforts to promote a cleaner Cozumel.

DeMita in 2012 Olympics

The windsurfer,DeMita Delille Vega, attended a training camp in Santander, Spain with a group of foreign windsurfers, who are world class windsurfers. Those in attendance were aiming at qualifiying for the Olympic's in Weymouth, England, in August.
The camp was important for windsurfers, and especially for DeMita Vega, because it helped her and her coach, Adrien Gaillard, to overcome flaws watching other world class windsurfers.

Punta Arrecifes Development

Cozumel has its own shoreline resort and hotel development on the western side of the island. Residents want to know: will a proposed development named Punta Arrecifes be approved, and will it destroy the beautiful northeast corner of the island where birds nest and delicate reefs known as micro-atolls exist? These micro-atolls represent a micro ecosystem that occurs only rarely worldwide, and nowhere else in the Western Caribbean. Such limited and specialized systems usually occur within very narrow survival parameters. Exactly what is to be approved for the Punta Arrecifes development is shrouded in mystery. What loss to the environment and uniqueness of this island would this development initiate, more and more world travelers are seeking these pristine environments and are willing to pay a premium to visit them as such. Any development on this untouched portion of Cozumel could potentially take away this opportunity for future generations.

We now have a 25% down loan program for Canadian and US Citizens purchasing in Mexico. It is a peso-based loan with a bank we have worked with previously. The program will become active for submissions in August (no specific date yet), so we can begin processing for you NOW to determine if you will qualify. We can then submit our documents to the lending bank once they open up for new applications in August.

Please contact me for specific rates and terms. Since this is a peso-based loan with a Mexican bank, there are some guidelines that are different than underwriting through a US bank. This is a 20 year “fixed rate” mortgage, but it is a hybrid loan (meaning it is not really a fixed rate or adjustable rate mortgage). I can discuss the terms with you on the phone or via email – I want to make sure you understand all the specifics of this loan program.

If you have been waiting for financing to again become available, NOW is the time to contact them.

Remember also, that we can work with you to pull out cash from existing real estate you already own in your home country. We are the only lenders in Mexico that are able to do this. By working with Mortgages In Mexico, you will get the lowest monthly payment possible for their Mexico home by using both a Mexico mortgage and a lower interest rate loan in your home country. We lend in all 50 states and throughout Canada.
